Fierce Competition for Teaching Jobs Overseas

E-mail

This is a great interview with Ben Glickman on a CBC radio program called The Link.  This interview takes place on August 5, 2009 and despite a small glitch where we are referenced as Footsteps, Ben Glickman not only provides some great insight into the challenges of finding great teachers in a flooded market, but he also speaks about the increased competition in the job market as schools overseas become even more critical about who they are hiring given they have so many more choices.  Have a listen to the interview here or if you would like to hear the whole radio program please go to CBC's The Link.

Teacher Reviews

Kara Stirling

Kara Stirling “My experience in Korea was one of the best of my life. I know, I know…so cliché…but it WAS. I am also of the opinion that Footprints Recruiting ROCKS. My year in Korea went off without a hitch…until…sigh, the end of my contract and my last paycheck. My director tried to scam me out of about 700 USD. I contacted Footprints and they stepped in and took action against my employer. Footprints has your back during the placement and throughout your contract. Make sure you cover your butt, go with a great recruiter.”
